I think Arc Shield should be RLY a shield to make it defensive as it was intended to be primarly Adds in special tactics. Bio pushes up ramp, see's nexus. OH SHIT 75 ENERGY!! turns around, arc shield in their face from that warpgate by the ramp. Poor poor bio. | ||

It does damage to light, it's not going to kill the building while it destroys your mineral line. And there's no answer for the other races unless you have to blindly throw down refineries/extractors which is ridiculous. This really isn't cheese, it's just straight up broken. | ||

There has to be another way to address issues instead of just tacking on random abilities. Yeah, like giving Protoss a unit that can do something at the start of the game like the Hellion or the zergling...  | ||

I think the ability requires gateway though? So you should be able to focus down assimilator in time? By the time it's in the game if it makes it into the game it will probably have to be on buildings powered by pylons. | ||

Flame-baiting at its finest. Keep your braindead, humorlous sarcasm to yourself. To OP, thanks for answering my question about this unintended (I assume) use in cheese. Instead of cheap research, maybe having it have a cast range based on the nexus (Range 16 or 20 from nexus, gains the shooter turret). Still seeing some interesting proxy 2gate if you can keep them alive and exert some pressure with pylons defended by zealots protected by arc shield. | ||

This also allows blizzard to remove the gateway requirement from arc shield so they don't have to worry about cannon cheese. | ||

It allows protoss to cannon rush for just 25 nexus energy and a pylon instead of a forge pylon and cannon. So a protoss can now build an assimilator or pylon near the zerg natural and deny a hatch until zerg gets a lot of lings.... The arc shield cannon only does damage to light units, so no. This won't be a problem. It also lasts for a short amount of time, too, so even if it could damage buildings, it still wouldn't be viable. | ||
